summary

This resolution amends ASUC Bylaw 2202 to restrict ASUC funding for Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that primarily promote generative AI/LLMs, are compensated for AI/LLM contract work, or do not actively address AI usage concerns. The change aims to ensure ASUC funds are not used to support activities that may have negative environmental or cognitive impacts, especially since many AI-focused RSOs receive external financial support. This policy change impacts RSOs seeking ASUC financial support for AI-related projects.
